3 Gang 2 Way Light Switch - Dark Green

Three rockers sit side by side on a single square plate, finished in a deep dark green with chrome inserts framing each switch. The plate is screwless, so the front face reads as one clean panel of colour with nothing on it but the rockers themselves. Each gang is wired two way, which means a switch here can work as a pair with a second switch elsewhere in the room, or be used on its own where only one control point is wanted.

This is the plate we would fit at a door where several lighting circuits arrive together: a kitchen with pendants, downlights and an under-cupboard run, or a hallway handling the porch, the hall and the stairs. Dark green sits comfortably against warm white plaster, deeper heritage paint shades and bare or oiled wood, and it suits anyone who would rather the switch look considered than vanish. We reach for it in rooms where standard white plastic reads as an afterthought, and in period houses where a little colour on the wall is welcome. It belongs on domestic lighting circuits indoors.

The plate and rockers are moulded polycarbonate in the green finish, with the chrome inserts giving a small lift of brightness at each rocker. Construction is double insulated, and the plate keeps to the familiar 88mm square footprint so it lines up with neighbouring accessories. Keep it looking right by dusting with a dry cloth and lifting marks with a barely damp one; skip solvents, cream cleaners and anything gritty, as these will scuff the colour and cloud the chrome. It carries a ten year warranty. If you are running the green through a whole hallway, pairing this with matching one and two gang plates on the shorter walls keeps the line of switches reading as one thought rather than a set of odds and ends.

What size is the plate?

It is an 88mm square plate, 25mm deep overall, which is the standard footprint for this style of accessory.

What does 2 way mean on a light switch?

Each of the three gangs can be paired with a second switch that controls the same light, so you can switch it on at one end of a room or stairway and off at the other. Two way switches also work perfectly well as one way if you only need a single control point.

What is the switch rated at?

The rockers are rated 10AX, which covers normal domestic lighting circuits.

What is the plate made from?

Moulded polycarbonate in the dark green finish, with chrome inserts around each rocker.

Can it go in a bathroom or outside?

No. It is rated IP20 and intended for dry rooms indoors only, so kitchens, halls, bedrooms and living rooms rather than bathroom zones, porches or outbuildings.

How long is the warranty?

It carries a ten year warranty.
